The orchestra carried on the melody through the high note and the audience, imagining it heard the voice equi.l in quality to the rest of the song, went into pro longed applause. The next night he really sang the note—and received much less ap plause. The Audience on th s first night supplied an ideal note the actual one much sweeter than produced.

The possibilities of tho other serin boundless. A "coming” youpg man is al ways more interesting than one who has “arrived”. lYou never know how far the new ohc may go. You can imagine the /sprouting char acter in unlimited achievements and no one, at the time, can prove you are wrong. This is the reason babies are a never ending, wonder. If you knew what they would i become, much, of the glamor would be gone. But you never do. You can imagine any thing and it may come true. The new star actress or singer generally isn't as good as the old' er star, but she is more interesting because you know the limits of one, and the other as yet seems of unlimited possibilities. In one of Aesop's Fables an old farmer competes with a circus per former to see wh<!> could best imi tate a pig's squeal. ‘jThe performer won, and as the I old farmer was hissed off the stage he pulled from under his cloak a live pig whose ear he had pulled to make it squeal. The actual seemed less real than the imagined.
